I just recently learned that a friend and I have both been accepted to broward community college. I wont be attending because i'm already taking classes at Barry and have been accepted into their nursing program. but as for my friend she's torn between going to broward community college and keiser. the reason i ask about BCC is because i've heard terrible things about their program and this seems to be much more than just rumors.

I attended open sessions for other schools nursing programs such as keiser and city college and both programs brought up bcc's program and how they were under scrutiny because a large number of the students were either dropping out of the program or not passing the licensing test. when i asked an advisor about this he said they were changing the admission process because alot of students didnt deserve to be in the program. then during the summer i was taking a class with a rn who graduated from bcc and asked her what was going on with the school. she said the reason why bcc was changing up their admission process was b/c while she was there they were under federal investigation b/c someone who worked in the nursing department(receptionist) was selling papers to students. so far it seems all i'm hearing are negative things.in addition i've also heard they're understaffed, thus overcrowded classes.

Can anyone give any insight into this? my friend is contemplating bcc because it's public therefore alot cheaper while keiser is private.

does anyone have an idea what was the lowest GPA BCC took last time.:typing

You may want to know the lowest number of points admitted in fall. If an applicant has hosa (5 points) and a Broward resident (1 point) they could have a low GPA, but the same number of points as a student with a 4.0.

Specializes in ED.

I knew people who got in with 9 and 10. I knew someone else that had 8 and was put on the alternate list but it ended up that all alternates got in anyway. None of those people had HOSA pts.

I don't have any point for HOSA, I don't even understand what that is, But what I do know is that they calculate the pre-req GPA different and I ended up with less GPA so I have less point. almost everyone that I know going to college now is changing majors to nursing and they don't even like patient interaction and is getting really difficult to get accepted, to much competition.:typing

I took the NLN for PBCC and it is not easy but not difficult. The math part was the easiest of the Test. The reading and the vocab comprehension wasn't bad but u have 80 questions with 60 min to do so u have to work right through, No hesitation.The science is tricky on some parts but doable. If you use the book and study it. You will do fine. Also, they say if you have a 3.4 GPA you should get in. I was told that the cutoff for fall was like 9 pts. I hope that helps. I am applying for Spring 09 as well, i have a 3.7 but I don't live in Broward. I have 13 pts and am waiting to see what happens. Good Luck and I hope to see you in the program.

Good luck to you too, Thank you for the info.:hpygrp:

CONGRATS.....How many points did you have ?

Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:clpty:Did you received the letter yesterday. If is OK to ask what is your GPA and what track did you apply?

My bad I forgot this is bcc and is by points I am also applying for mdc and they go by GPA I get confused. What I mean is how many points do you have?

well when you apply online it tells you how much points you have, but if that confuses you....what was your GPA ? :)

13 Points, But my friend with 10 also got in.

I have 13 points and a 3.73 Program GPA. I looked on the degree audit.
